Just thought I'd do an intro thread before I start posting anything here. I don't currently own a Lexus, but I am currently trying to find a clean 01-05 GS 300.


Thought I'd share some pics of my current car. I will be parting it out and selling soon to fund the GS.

Unfortunately, just has intake and exhaust When I first got it I planned on building an auto-x car, but my love of riding low ruined that whole plan. Its almost all aesthetic mods. Not to mention if I did ever go F/I, I would have to raise the car up and get fatter tires (currently 215/35/18 on 18x9.5 with a 4in drop). So now I'm looking into something a little roomier and more comfy.

^I'm guessing that's going to be way out of my price range, but you can PM me a price if you care to humor me.

if the price is right, DEF....actually its worth more to me if i total it or someone steals it or something devastating happens to it. i carry any extra 10k of insurance on my stereo upgrades alone on top of my full coverage. you all should know i been craving a LS430/LS460 im not to fond of the way the gs crowd seems to be swaying with the price ever dropping lower and lower. i LOVE my gs but i also love the higher end models

^ I knew you would give it up pretty soon for an LS460, even though you liked your GS dearly.
